The Spirit of Healing This Halloween
As Halloween arrives, our thoughts often turn to mystery, transformation, and the unseen. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), “ghosts” are not the spooky figures we imagine — they represent emotional or energetic disturbances that separate us from peace, clarity, and connection.
At Luna Acupuncture & Wellness in Chandler, Arizona, we honor this time of year by reflecting on one of the most profound teachings in Chinese Medicine — the 13 Ghost Points. These ancient acupuncture points help release emotional burdens, calm the mind, and realign the spirit.
What Are the 13 Ghost Points?
The 13 Ghost Points were first described by Sun Si Miao, a compassionate physician of the Tang Dynasty often called “The King of Medicine.” He believed true healing meant treating both the body and the soul.
In modern life, “ghosts” may appear as:
- Overthinking or anxiety
- Restlessness and insomnia
- Emotional overwhelm or grief
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Each Ghost Point helps release a different form of energetic stagnation, guiding us back toward inner balance and serenity.
Why the Ghost Points Are Perfect for Halloween
Just as Halloween symbolizes the thin veil between worlds, these acupuncture points remind us of the delicate connection between body, mind, and spirit.
During fall, our energy turns inward — it’s the perfect season to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for renewal. The 13 Ghost Points help you do just that by:
- Calming the mind and spirit
- Releasing emotional “hauntings” such as fear, grief, or anger
- Grounding your energy after times of stress
- Restoring balance to your heart and nervous system
It’s a gentle yet powerful way to bring emotional harmony during this introspective season.
